caecal

The artery may also arise from the ileal, posterior cecal, or anterior cecal branch of the ileocecal artery.

The ‘volcano sign’ described endoscopically is seen as a ‘vortical fold’ pattern on barium studies, which is the concentric ring appearance of the cecal mucosal folds as they approach the obstructed appendiceal orifice.

Through a midline laparotomy, the cecal and ileocecal junction was identified.
